I did it
I said it
I made it
I saw it
I heard it
I ate it

I know I did
I remember
It’s still in my mind
heart
memory
soul
hard drive
database
always will be.

But

I regretted it
hated it
wished it gone
apologized for it
confessed it
committed afresh about… it

So now it’s gone
erased
deleted
vanished
not in cyberspace
not in the recycle bin
not in a temporary file
not in a flash drive
not in the cloud

empty
clean
open
for newness
to be filled with goodness
with apples and honey
with challah and wine
with joy and kindness
with love and faith.

And that is why
I’m so happy.

Happy Yom Kippur…
